Fox News: China views the US as weak in outer space — Trump must change that
President Trump established Space Force in 2019 to enhance U.S. military capabilities in space, recognizing the importance of American superiority in this domain.

To counter these threats, it is suggested that President-elect Trump establish a Space Force Academy, free from perceived "woke" influences affecting current military academies. This initiative is seen as crucial for preparing future leaders to secure U.S. interests in space, which is becoming an essential battleground.
